By tapping into the immense power of artificial intelligence, we're witnessing a revolution in how we perceive and engage with properties.

If you're a good investor you can invest in any market at any time. Thoughts?

Quote from @Carlos Ptriawan:  They believe that they will increase the properties NOI by 45% over 5 yr hold, mostly through rent increases after doing 5K interior upgrades in all 252 units, thus adding 19 million to value of property. how is it possible increasing rent 50% in 5 years period in place where comps and rent is decreasing, this local market is extremely saturated.For me if I have to buy in Austin I would find complex that could give DSCR 1.3 at least with 80% occupancy.if they increase rent 50% then we should do intelligence on their closest neighborhood's rent. 

And people still have enough intelligence to sort that out, and to pay for quality knowing quality in selling/buying real estate = ROI.
